After understanding the grave situation, he was in, Jacob decided not to try anything that he would regret. Preserving his life was more important than anything else right now.
Thereby, he took off his mask while his long silver hair wasn't hidden because he wasn't wearing his windbreaker while sitting on the ship. The mask was on his face so he could see any incoming danger, yet it seemed to be not worked out in front of Unique Rank at all.
However, when Jacob's mask was removed, he noticed something instantly. Captain Free Sword's eyes went wide in astonishment while Harold, the right-hand man of Captain Free Sword, blurted in bewilderment.
"Faery Human?!"
Now it was Jacob's turn to be shocked because it was the second time he had heard this name, and someone even recognized him, and it was a Unique expert on top of that who recognized him instantly.
'Could it be this body really belonged to the Unique Plains? Then how did it end up all the way in the Common Plains?' Jacob thought, but he had better control over his emotions, and he knew this might be a chance but also a disaster.
Thereby, he calmed his nerve and greeted Captain Free Sword, "I am Jacob Steve. It's nice to meet you, Captain Free Sword!"
Captain Free Sword looked surprised at this moment while Harold pulled a strange expression.
"He can't be one of those conceited bastards who took pride in their name, and he's too weak to be called a Faery Human. But we can't be too sure, now, can't we?" Captain Free Sword stated before he turned his focus on Jacob again as he smiled, which now contained deviant intent.
Then something magical happened; Captain Free Sword's wrist suddenly shimmered in crimson light, and under Jacob's astonished eyes, a 2-meter white virtual cube suddenly formed around him, which seemed completely harmless.
At this moment, Jacob felt his Star Watch suddenly heat up, and when he glanced at it, he was shocked because it became active on its own.
Thereby, a familiar voice rang from the virtual cube, which made Jacob's blood run cold,
"Star ID: Faceless Ancient
"Star Privilege: 2 Star
"Warning; Faceless Ancient is an Honorary Member of Life Faction. This scan cannot be continued!"
It was SAAI's voice!
The next moment, the virtual cube instantly shattered in front of Captain Free Sword's shining eyes as if he had found a treasure.
On the other hand, Jacob had nothing but a bad feeling about it.
"Go, and call Masha. We might need her." Captain Free Sword ordered, and Harold quickly vanished to fetch this Masha.
Then Captain Free Sword's focus appeared on Jacob's cold face, and he pulled a big nasty smile, "Mr. Steve, you see, I like honesty, and something tells me you are not being honest here at all. Then I'll ask one more time, what is your name, and what are you doing in this place? Now your answer will decide how I'll treat you further, so please, for both of our sake, reply with honesty."
"Hahahaha… trouble is coming, this is so much more entertaining than I thought…" Immortika wrote in mirth, which only made Jacob rageful, yet there was nothing he could do.
"I told you my true name, I don't know why you do not believe it, but it is the truth," Jacob uttered with as much sincerity as he could muster.
It has been a very long time since he wanted to sound so convincing to someone.
However, Captain Free Sword merely chuckled in disdain and said, "It seemed you don't like my sincerity at all."
Just as his voice trailed off, Harold reappeared in the hall again, and this time, there was a 3.2-meter-tall woman in a black dress that was quite revealing.
She has pale gray skin, small ears, and strange rune symbols carved over his forehead and jawline, while her blue eyes were glowing in gentle blue light. She was ridiculously beautiful and had a unique charm that could charm almost anyone.
"Oh, an Uniuqe-Tier-4 Sorceress from Charm Siren Race who is proficient in Charm Magic and has a terrifying talent for Magic Runes. Another race with second generation legendary bloodline of Siren Race."
Jacob didn't find it helpful. Instead, it only made him more apprehensive, while the Cursed Book seemed to enjoy the show thoroughly.
Furthermore, that woman was simply too beautiful, and even he felt a strange desire arousing within him.
"It's a Faery Human?" Masha's charming blue eyes twinkled when she saw Jacob as if she had just found a rare testament which gave Jacob chills to his spine, and keeping his calm was getting harder.
Captain Free Sword coldly smiled as he said, "Dear Masha, would you be so kind as to engrave him with a Slave Rune?"
Masha's eyes shimmered with ecstasy as she looked at Captain Free Sword, "Can I really?"
"When do I ever lie to you?" Captain Free Sword chuckled.
Jacob's expression was now as dark as inky clouds, and he knew things were going south now and that Slave Rune was something he wanted to avoid at all costs.
He was pretty sure that Slave Rune wouldn't be as simple as those Parasite Gems, and he had too many secrets to protect, while the biggest secret being the Cursed Immortality.
If these guys even get wind of the Godly Scripture in his possession, he can forget about living.
Just when he was about to use every means necessary to stop this, Immortika wrote something.
"Just let them have their fun. Nothing in your possession is strong enough to escape from them, so you will only be making things worse for yourself. On the other hand, if you use your acting skill, you will be able to escape one day.
"The Slave Rune they are talking about is a very powerful Magic Rune only a Rune Artificer at a certain level can learn and then etched on a living being with a tier weaker rank than itself.
"Which then allowed the Rune Artificer to take full control over the victim's mind and body and follow its every command without any restrain.
"However, in your situation, they can only control your physique for the time being, but not your mind or magic or free will because of your Hex Magic Core. This means if your acting skills are good… hahahaha this game will be quite fun to watch. I can't wait!"
